Lush and very forward, with velvety textured waves of cassis, mulled plum and blackberry reduction mixed with flashes of mocha and roasted vanilla. This is long, with seamless structure letting the fruit play out. For the hedonist crowd. *Highly Recommended* (JM)

Cult Wines International Notes:

Caymus Vineyards is a family-owned winery located in the Rutherford AVA of Napa Valley, founded by the Wagner family in 1972. While they are celebrated for their classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, their most renowned bottling is the Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine represents the pinnacle of their winemaking efforts and has become an icon of the quintessential Napa style.

The “Special Selection” designation signifies that this wine is only produced in the finest vintages, using the most exceptional lots of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is crafted from a careful selection of grapes from various vineyards across Napa Valley, a choice that gives the winemakers the flexibility to choose only the highest-quality fruit each year.

The style of Caymus Special Selection is defined by its bold, lush, and rich character. It is famous for its generous layers of dark fruit, soft tannins, and a smooth, accessible texture. Unlike some wines that are designed for extended aging, Caymus Special Selection is crafted to be enjoyed relatively early, though it has the structure to age gracefully. Its distinctive style and consistent quality have made it one of the most popular and recognizable Cabernet Sauvignons in the world.
